Lots of stuff going on these days, and I wanted to take a moment to point it all out, because I love my friends and stuff. • sidecar is totally a senior now, I think, which is fantastic and I'm really so very proud of her! ♥ • dreamingenigma graduated college and written_doodles graduated high school, and I am proud of them , too! • lemonlye needed some help...

lemonlye is is doing Tweets of great books. Jane Eyre is hilarious. She's posted an open call to play along. That's the last part of the post that isn't about me, fair warning. The reason I've had trouble naming the car is apparently that, like the Doctor, it wants a title. Therefore, it is "the travelpod." Said Travelpod is the only thing ready for MediaWest, because I sure ain't. I've...

I feel better today after having been a zombie all weekend basically. Got off work at around 11:40 in the morning on Saturday after I'd gotten caught up with all of my stuff. *looks around* My desk hasn't been this empty in quite a while. I picked up some lunch for Cec and me and went home where Cecily had me watch Penelope with Christina Ricci and the ever fabulous Port-a-Hottie James McAvoy....

Um. Hullo there. *waves* Remember me? It's been about two and a half weeks since I last posted. I don't think I have ever gone that long between posts, even when I was going on 2-weeks-long vacations. And the truth of the matter is, I could have kept on not posting, for a number of reasons. I didn't know when to "come back", because there wasn't any one thing that was keeping me away. I didn't know...

I have a shiny new copy of lemonlye 's The Ghost Downstairs and you don't, neener neener! Well, actually, you might have a shiny new copy, I guess, but is your shiny new copy addressed specifically to you, your husband, your gestating child, and your bookstore? I didn't think so. You don't even have a bookstore, so addressing a book to it would be silly . *runs away giggling*

Okey dokey lemonlye .... you started it, and since I cannot do ANYTHING without music playing, I figured this would be a good one to squip! Ten songs I absolutely can't exist without ... (1) "Spicy McHaggis Jig" - Dropkick Murphys ... Okay, ANYTHING by DKM just is teh awesomeness. But this one, for sheer hilarity alone, and BAGPIPES even, is at the top of my list. All oi punk should have...

From lemonlye . This does not necessarily equate to my ten favorite songs. I am going with songs that for whatever reason make me smile, or the songs I can absolutely not skip even when I'm in my most random mood while hitting "next next next" on the iPod. In no particular order.

All right, since you're so faithful and have still kept me on your friends list, here's what you ought to do: Go here and sign up for my email updates. These are very rare (only a few so far in several months), but they'll keep you informed if I have writing news to share with you, such as any new publications or parodies. For instance, you'd have learned I wrote a condensed parody version of Harry...

"Just whistle while you work And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place So hum a merry tune It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace" - The Seven Dwarfs   Today is the first day of work after Christmas break. Oh joy. Might as well tidy up the place whistling Snow White's happy soundtrack, right? Right? *pleading look* Right. *sigh* There's not much to...

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In January I donated bone marrow to theferrett in a life-saving procedure (300 points) . Last Friday I committed genocide... Sorry about that, lemonlye (-5000 points) . In June I gave grasshopper a kidney (1000 points) . In May I gave sylvia_says a Dutch Oven (-10 points) . In March I ate my brussel...
